Penske® Reviews
We where told the truck we rented was big enough for a 2-3 bedroom apartment. We had to ship some things and give away some things and we did not even have a couch or a kitchen table and chairs to load up. Not Happy! Customer service was great as far as dealing with renting and they gave me some discounts. Truck was in great shape and easy to drive.
If the Penske employees in Londonderry NH had checked to see if anyone had a 26' truck booked when the one on premises broke down, they would have been able to supply me with the one I'd reserved (6 weeks before) when I arrived on time to pick it up on July 30th. So they were scrambling that morning to find me a truck as I had people from Full House Family Moving scheduled for noon that day and had made advance reservations, some pre-paid, for moving my things from NH to FL and planned to leave at 1 a.m. on the 31st. They finally found one 2 hours away in VT and sent guys to bring it back, but that means postponing the movers who thankfully were able to accommodate me. However, the truck Penske finally provided was a 2019 brand new model with only 4000 miles on it!! Just what I was hoping for as a woman, traveling with another woman, and neither of us wanted a snafu en-route. Once we got used to driving this truck, which held the road well and was easy to maneuver, the trip was a breeze. This would have been a 5 star experience if they'd had the truck ready when I got there to pick it up.
Rented two trucks and a car trailer for our move. Wish the trailer had a fold away fender to make getting out of the car door possible. If you have a low vehicle you will be crawling out the window. Both trucks were fairly new with low mileage. Have used Penske in the past for long moves and will be using them again.
Received a phone call 20 minutes from pickup time that reserved truck would not be available due to mechanical issue. Ended up picking up rental truck at an alternate location. Rear lift gate option on truck unavailable at time of pickup despite being part of description of rental online. One way out of state destination rental.
They provided a usable truck and it was fully loaded. The truck was much larger than I needed, but that was OK, better too much than too little room. Truck was ready on time, and they processed me through promptly. I had planned on using a different truck rental company, but this was cheaper. I would not hesitate to use them again, if needed.
We rented a 26 foot truck and a 16 foot truck , plus a 4-wheeled car carrier for each truck (two car carriers). The 16 foot truck was fine. The 26 foot truck did not down shift reliably and consistently when going up hill and gave me a couple transmission warning alarms. I discussed this with the drop off location. One of the car carriers got a flat tire on the 3rd day. the 24/7 help line was NOT helpful. The wanted to send a maintenance truck out (which would take an hour or more to get to our location) and then they wanted to replace all 4 tires on the carrier which was not necessary. I cancelled the Help Ticket and got the tire repaired at a local tire store for $12.50 and was on my way in less than an hour. Penske did reimburse me the cost of the tire repair. This is the 9th time I've rented from Penske in the last 10 years --- generally the service has been good and the trucks have been reliable.
